Broadcom provided some patches and trying to get the BCM50610 PHY worked in the 3.95 version, but it still has the problems in the modules loading order:phylib,broadcom,tg3. The tg3 driver forces the phylib module to be loaded, but the phylib detects the 50610 as a generic 1G phy. The driver rejects the generic phy, which is why the device ultimately fails to initialize. -- update the tg3 to version 3.95 to support Broadcom 5785 NIC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
